Learn More about Silt Curtain Options
Type 1 DOT Silt Barrier: The Type 1 silt curtains are designed for state regulated calm water or roadside jobs. Built to meet or exceed state requirements, these barriers have been used in small ponds, lakes, canals and along roads for superior silt control.
Type 1 Economy Silt Barrier: This Type 1 economy turbidity curtain is a cost-effective solution to calm water sediment control. They are ideal for short-term projects or jobs in low flow lakes, ponds, swales, and harbors.
Type 2 Medium Duty Silt Barriers: The Type 2 medium duty barriers meet DOT requirements and are designed for mild water applications, such as in bays, rivers, and inland waters. They are typically used in maximum conditions of: 1 knot currents, 2 foot waves, and 30 mph winds.
Type 2 Heavy Duty Silt Barriers: Some medium condition jobs require stronger support. These barriers have a heavy-duty construction equipped to handle long duration projects or jobs that require heavy-duty strength for silt.
Type 3 Medium Duty Silt Barriers: The Type 3 barrier is the strongest barrier offered. They are built to contain silt and are typically used in flowing rivers, inter-coastal waterways, bays and harbors where control is a must.
Type 3 Heavy Duty Silt Barriers: For ultimate support, the Type 3 heavy duty barrier is an ideal choice. These silt control units offer high quality strength and are ideal for multiple deployments or in demanding conditions.
Turbidity Control on Land & on Barges
Silt Fence: Silt control is often required on land as well as in the water. The silt fence is often used to provide a temporary barrier around your job site to keep sediment contained to your work area.
Staked Turbidity Curtain: When land silt control requires more strength, a staked turbidity curtain is an ideal choice. These turbidity fences offer top-level strength for more demanding sediment control. They are often used to direct stormwater runoff or control sheet flow on your site.
Barge Turbidity Barrier: These silt curtains are designed for sediment control during dredging on barges. Barriers are mounted to the side of the dredging barge to give you central control and limit disturbance to shipping lanes.
Other Unique Applications for the Turbidity Barrier
Power Point Presentations
Turbidity Control During Dam Repair: Containing turbidity during dam repair can be a difficult process. We offer two choices for this kind of turbidity control: the Floating Containment System and the Silt Barrier. Watch this power point presentation for an overview of both approaches.
Turbidity Control during Bridge Repair: Containing turbidity around bridge pylons and surrounding areas can be difficult. This presentation shows options for turbidity control including a turbidity curtain that is designed to surround the entire pylon.
YouTube Video
Piling Driving Turbidity Curtain: This YouTube video shows how turbidity curtains have been used around pilings to control sediment and silt at the source.
